"Untouchable?" Here are the top 20 PECOTA comparables for Dexter Fowler:
1 Sheldon Fulse
2 Rashad Eldridge
3 Dwight Maness
4 Kevin Gibbs
5 Ray Holbert
6 Kenny Kelly
7 Ron Krause
8 Cesar Crespo
9 Keith Mckoy
10 Andre King
11 Brian Hunter
12 Jarred Ball
13 Larue Baber
14 Tarrik Brock
15 Nook Logan
16 Jeff Jackson
17 Nathan Haynes
18 Jamie Athas
19 Carl Everett
20 Dave Krynzel
Carl Everett had an OK career, attitude aside (peak value seven wins a year, but with erratic ups and downs). Brian Hunter and Nook Logan were a rung lower (peak value under four wins a year). The rest were washouts.
You see Tavarez as a "washed up long man;" I see Tavarez as a currently healthy guy who started 23 games last year and is one of the few active MLB pitchers with a demonstrated track record of reasonable success at hitters' paradise Coors Field (career ERA 4.42 in 89.3 IP there). You see Fowler as "untouchable;" I see a guy 85% likely not to have an MLB career worth anything. Cheez, you're so negative about this I'd almost wonder if you even liked the Red Sox.
Oh, wait...never mind.
